Crap! I scratched my bumper!!! Update: Pics
Yep. Today at school, I was backing up and I scratched my rear bumper against the cement wall in the parking structure. It was ____ed up. Don't have pics now, but once I get home I'll take some pics and post them up. How much do you guys think it'll cost me to fix?

Yes there is a dent near the bottom. The scratches starts from right under the curve of the rear driver's side tail light and all the way down near the fold of the rear bumper. Best way to let you guys know is to show you pictures.

dont waste money on trying to fix plastic its too hard. bondo wont cover the scratches up for long and if its creased heating up wont really work, i would order a new skin for my bumper. it could be kind of expensive but then again so is body work

sorry to hear and see about it damn
my front bumper is messed up too, but i just bought the BC2 bumper instead of paying ridiculouse dealer prices.
check ebay maybe they have a stock one, and paint may not be too much

well elt me put it this way, you have the same kind of dent i have on my front bumper, also where the fender meets my bumper the bumper is bent. the body shop that works on my car said it is not worth it to fix beacuse its ABS plastic, i guess it hard to work with, so instead of using my insurance monet to buy a stock one, i ordered the BC2
all in all it up to you and what you want done for your car, im just iffy on the dent you have
